This service provides a convenient way of fullfilling one of the pillars of Islam. Over the past years we have noticed that more and more members are using our service. Because of the importance of zakat, this service is open to all Muslims regardless of whether they are Melayu UK members or not.

We organise Perhimpunan Keluarga to enable members and their family to get together for a few days for socialising. Perhimpunan Keluarga is also packed with various activities such as archery, orienteering, tog-o-war, pioneering and BBQ. Children who have been to Perhimpunan Keluarga still have vivid memories of the enjoyment that they experienced during their childhood years.

Our members are scattered across the UK and many live is areas where there are few Muslims and getting the opportunities to learn about Islam is limited.
Those who would like to learn how to read the Quran can now subscribe to a self-pace online learning at http://tajwid.pisang.uk

Counselling services can be obtained from PISANG (Professional Islamic Support and Nurture Group), a Malay-driven not-for-profit organisation. Please visit their website www.pisang.uk for more information.

Melayu UK has been providing a zakat collection service since 2004. The service has been a great help to our members and also provides a conveniet way of fullfilling one of the pillars of Islam. This is especially true for members who live away from Muslim communities.

Over the past years we have noticed that more and more members are using our service. Because of the importance of zakat, this service is open to all Muslims regardless of whether they are Melayu UK members or not.

Perhimpunan Keluarga has been one of the key activities of Melayu UK and have brought members young and old together. Through Perhimpunan Keluarga, members have been able to feel and benefit the presence of the other members is a physical setting. Perhimpunan Keluarga, which normally last for 3 days, is normally filled with activities such as archery, orienteering, tug-o-war, pioneering, barbeque. It also enables members to socialise in a welcoming atmosphere, not just through talking but also through doing things together such as preparation of food, organising of activities and empowering the children. Children also enjoyed the various activities amongst them and also showed their talents through activities as well as presentations.

We are happy to inform everyone that we will be having a Perhimpunan Keluarga this year. Hopefully the Perhimpunan Keluarga be more successful that those held in previous years. We have invaluable experience in organising Perhimpunan Keluarga in the past and InshaAllah this year’s Perhimpunan Keluarga will be more exciting. As before, we have chosen our Perhimpunan Keluarga venue at a scout camp because of the availability of facilities such as indoor accommodation and a variety of activities. Camping is also allowed for those who prefer the excitement of camping.

The president of PISANG, Hamidi Abdul Rahman, was given the honour of delivering a speech to the Patani Malay Youth Association in Europe event on 23rd August 2014. Patani youths from The Netherlands, Germany, Denmark and Sweden gathered in Hamburg, Germany for a 2-day event. This was the first gathering organised by the Patani Malay youth in Europe. The population of Patani Malay youths in Europe is increasing and they plan to organise further gatherings in other cities in Europe.

Ramadhan is a time when we try to increase our spirituality. It is a time when we endeavour various struggles and determined to be successful in our endevour in our spiritual journey. We can manage with skipping daily routines such as coffee or tea break. We can afford to miss our lunch even during the long daylight hours of summer but yet we are still carrying our daily obligations as normal. In addition to those, we spend more time at night in prayers in search for more spirituality.

The committee members of Melayu UK and Melayu UK Youth wish all our members Ramadhan Mubarak. May this blessed month be filled with lots of ibadah and visits to strengthen the brotherhood/sisterhood amongst us.

Perhimpunan Keluarga 2009 aka camping at Ashworth Valley Scout Camp went very well over the weekend. The camping attracted participants from various races, Muslims and non-Muslims. Once again the Malay community in the UK has shown that they do not just mixed around with Malays only. Mixing around with Malays only will prevent personal development and is likened to the Malay proverb "Seperti katak di bawah tempurung" (like a frog under the coconut shell).

Our Perhimpunan Keluarga (aka camping) this year will be held at Ashworth Valley Campsite. The annual Perhimpunan Keluarga is a key factor in bonding the friendship amongst our members. As in the past, we are proud to inform that this year's Perhimpunan Keluarga will be also attended by many non-Malays. This proves that the resident Malay community is not an isolated community but is increasingly playing a bigger role in the British community.

Perhimpunan Keluarga is a very important event for Melayu UK members. It is an event for the young and not so young, an event where new friendship is made and old friendship is strengthened, an event for recreation and for intellectual discourse.

The number of second and third generation Malays in our community has increased steadily over the years. This year's Perhimpunan Keluarga will focus on pro-active role of the Malays in the Britain.

This year we have booked 1 building with basic indoor accommodation and an area for camping. As there will be limited indoor accommodation, participants are requested to bring their own tents.

Update: Mobile clinics will be held in conjuction with Islamic Medical Treatment courses. Please visit www.pisang.org.uk for the latest information.

Melayu UK and PISANG (Professional Islamic Support and Nurture Group) plans to hold another mobile clinic for the screening and treatment of jinn-related problems. Jinn can cause some illnesses and modern medicine will not be able to cure those type of illnesses. Screening will be done using the Ruqyah Shar'iyyah methodology and we are planning to fly in Al-Hafiz Ustaz Trimizi Zainal to conduct the clinic.

PISANG is a non-profit organisation registered in the UK and has carried out many mobile clinics in Malaysia, Australia, Brunei, Singapore, Jordan, Egypt and UK. PISANG is highly dependent on donation to fund its activities and we hope to collect donations to cover the cost of organising the mobile clinic. Screening and treatment services will be provided free-of-charge. However we encourage donations to cover our cost. Please send us an email if you wish to pledge donation for the planned mobile clinic.

PISANG is also planning to organise a course on Introduction to Islamic Medical Treatment. Please contact us if you are interested in taking the course.
